People

  • Zapata (surname)

<!-- * Zapata, pen name of Voltaire -->

<!-- Voltaire, the article linked above, never mentions the name Zapata in any context. Even a Google search returns only a single Voltaire work, The Questions of Zapata, which Voltaire pretended only to have discovered, not written himself (which arguably may not even qualify Zapata as a pen name). But since the Voltaire article makes no mention of that work, linking to it from this page can only confuse readers. If mention of that work is added to Voltaire, the entry here can be reactivated. -->
